Thank you Caleb for this elaborate report. For many of us who did not know well
what had happened and was happening, this report gives us an insight. I think
it is high time we paid up our membership and annual subscriptions.
One thing in the report set me thinking for a while. The thinking that WNF is a
Lugbara thing is an aspect we should collectively try to dispel. In my
experience, most institutions that begin actually do so from an idea of one or
two individuals, who in most cases may be of the same tribe, faith or come from
the same place. As the thinking spreads with time, this challenge often comes
up. In the way the President put it, it does not seem to be an alarming thing;
however, I think we should try to demystify it so that we enjoy the benefits of
collective bargaining as the people of West Nile.
It possible to understand from the organizers Foundation events e.g. the West
Nile Night, Education Trust how the attendance or participation has been in
terms of diversity of West Nile (different ethnic groupings) and whether there
are reasons other than interest or lack of it to explain the trends.

Counsel,
Good and timely response with this comprehensive report.
I hope this finally puts doubting minds to rest.
Time now for everyone in the mailing list and all concerned about WNF to
respond to the report with positive criticism and suggestions if any.
Thanks once again.
GOD BLESS!

Thanks, Caleb, for this detailed write-up. I hope the emerging discussions on
this report by members (after perusal) will be hinged on action needed, not
free-wheeling rhetoric. Let's invest our time, ideas, professional or personal
networks, cash/material or other such resources to fully lift the initiative
off the ground.
